In this way 1 have secured lecturers
that have not only pleased the patrons
Of the Institute, but added largely to
its funds. The surplus on hand, after
defraying all the expenses of every In.
stitute, / applied to the expenses of
the next one. During no year of my
Superintendency until 1884, had / more
than 500 on hand After the Institute
of that year had Sl2O.s7 surplus.
After all the expenses of the Institute
of 1885 had been paid, had $223.35
on hand, and this sum l used in de
fraying the expenses of the late Insti-
tute. Had | not had this sum on hand
of last year, should have been out of
pocket more than one hundred dollars
after pay ing the expenses of the Insti.
tute of 1886. 1t will thus be seen that
| have appropriated no money received
from any of the Institutes, to my per-
sonal use, aud challenge any one to
show anything to the contrary. 1t the
superintendent has no surplus money
from the county treasury, enrolment
fees, or evening lectures, and does not
realize sufficient from these sources to
defray the expenses of any Institute, he
i. obliged to pay the balance out of
his own pocket. This, it seems to me,
should show the reasonableness of
keeping an unexpended balance on
hand whenever ii is possible to do SO.
Should | have any such money in
my hands at the expiration of my Off
cial term, / shall in accordance with
my public statement of 1888, hand it
to my successor, to be applied 10 the
expenses of his Institutes. A state
ment of the receipts and expenditures
of all the Institutes held by me can be
seen at my office.

The Harrisburg Patriot of the 22d
says that a House bill has been report
ed favorably, from committee provid-
ing for an additional Judge in Colum-
bia county. This is mistake. No
such bill has been introduced, and if it
had been it would never have gone
through the committee, as it would be
clearly unconstitutional on several
grounds.

 It would be improper and untimely to revert to tbe days when there were some of ,he people of the city who failed a understand the grand plans conceived by Gov. Shepherd and carried out ID spite of opposition. which, in their frui-- tion. have made Washington the most beautiful city of the world.

TIE Denver Republican acknovl- edges that the latest estimates mon tbe losses of cattle in Montana last winter. show that in certain districts the stock was almost entirely destroyed. Ip some instances the loss amounted to almost eighty per cent, and one firm alone is reported to have lest 50.OOO head. This Is confessed to mean the almost total destruction cf the cattle business in Montana, as least so far as the invest ment ot eastern capital Is concerned. The Republican thinks thst after eeyer- al milder winters shall have shown that The severe weather of last winter was exceptional, the Montana cattle business Will recover, and shat large shipments will begin again 10. that country from Texas.
